I am a regular reader of EducationWorld and have been following the annual EW India Higher Education Rankings for the past three years. Congratulations to C fore and EW for conducting and publishing a comprehensive higher education institutions rankings survey, despite the huge disruption caused by the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.
The newly introduced rankings […]
I’m pregnant with my second child and loved reading your Early Childhood advisory on swaddling. I didn’t swaddle my first born as there are many myths and superstitions about swaddling infants. Thanks to paediatrician Dr. Yogesh Kumar Gupta for setting the record straight.
After reading his excellent suggestions on the right way to swaddle infants and […]
THANKS FOR publishing the comprehensive EW India Higher Education Rankings 2021-22 (EW May). With the raging Covid-19 pandemic forcing shutdown of all education institutions nationwide, your rankings are a timely celebration of the country’s best colleges and universities which are making every effort to ensure learning continuity of students during this difficult time. Academic […]
Thanks for your hard-hitting cover story ‘3-prong assault on private schools’ (EW April). India’s high-performance private schools are indeed under siege! The indifference of the Central and state governments to the financial crisis confronting private — especially budget private school — promoters and managements is shocking and disgraceful. The Centre should have included private schools […]
The cover story ‘Positive podcasting fever sweeping India’ was an enjoyable read (PW March). During the lockdown, I began listening to podcasts on health and fitness. I was amazed at the variety of podcasts available on subjects ranging from entertainment, books, education, business investments, to relationships and current affairs. And the best thing about podcasts […]
Congratulations for presenting a well-researched analysis of the Union Budget 2020-21 (‘Bare cupboard for world’s most high potential children’, EW March). Slashing the Centre’s allocation for public education by 6 percent in the pandemic year, during which all education institutions were shut down for almost ten months, is a telling indicator of the low priority […]
Your cover story listing ways and means to boost child immunity was well-researched (PW February). Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic out of the blue hit humankind last year, prescriptions to build bodily immunity have suddenly become aplenty and trendy. Nevertheless, your suggestions from child health experts were very balanced and holistic.
Congratulations for your detailed cover story ‘Pandemic Thunderbolt Endangers Early Years Education’ (EW February). It sends out a strong message to the Central and state governments to walk the talk — the National Education Policy 2020 accords high importance to early childhood care and education (ECCE) — and provide a pandemic relief package to India’s […]
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the cover story ‘FRESH (Fitness, Return to minimalist living, Education, Slowing Down and Home Life) 2021’ (PW January). Life as we know it, halted last year. Schools, colleges, universities, businesses, hotels, restaurants, all shut down to check the spread of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic. Millions of people lost jobs, livelihoods and […]
Congratulations for your well-researched cover story ‘Future of learning in post-pandemic era’ (EW January). Your views resonated with me. The closure of education institutions for over nine months has certainly forced change-averse schools to adopt new tech-driven teaching-learning systems. But it has also highlighted and exacerbated prevailing inequalities in Indian education.
More than two decades ago, when the idea of a gap year was unknown in India, I took a one-year break after class XII. My parents disapproved of my decision but gave in on my insistence. During the gap year, I was a volunteer teacher in a NGO school as well as at an animal […]
Heritage Girls School, Udaipur is ranked #9 in the country among girls boarding schools in the EW India School Rankings 2020-21 (EW December). Needless to say, I’m extremely disappointed.
We take these rankings very seriously and had worked extremely hard to ensure we smoothen out the wrinkles in our performance to move up a notch or […]
I loved the November cover story on nurturing entrepreneurship skills within children. I run a fashion boutique in Chennai and wish that I was exposed to entrepreneurship education early on in my life. As I learn on the job navigating the ups and downs of starting and running my own business, I have realised that […]
We are elated that DPS, Greater Faridabad is ranked #48 nationally, #27 in Haryana and #1 in Greater Faridabad in the co-ed day schools category in the latest EducationWorld India School Rankings 2020-21 (EW November).
We are thankful to EducationWorld for recognising our verve and grit as an ambitious and student-centric school. This is the first […]
While we are facing an addiction to all things electronic, there are other serious addictions to which teenagers could succumb. One of them is drugs. Your October cover story touched upon this issue that is wreaking havoc with the lives of young people across the country.
Parents believe that their own child is exempt but the […]
Thank you for the enjoyable list of DIY activities and projects featured in the September cover story. During the lockdown my daughter and I tried quilting and together made a beautiful wall piece for our home.
This activity helped us bond emotionally and also develop teamwork skills. Our next joint DIY activity will be PW’s step-by-step […]
Your special report ‘Implementing NEP 2020 — Expert advice for Central government’ (EW September) is well-timed as the public debate has now moved to translating this lofty document into reality.
Even as the newly renamed Union education ministry has rather belatedly invited suggestions from school teachers and principals for ways and means to implement NEP 2020, […]
I read your cover story on how lockdown anger is disrupting family harmony (PW August). I agree with you that parents must develop coping strategies to manage lockdown anger and create happy and conducive environments for children. However, in your advice on anger management, you have missed including the importance of parents developing resilience — […]
Thank you for the August issue of EducationWorld. Your own take on NEP 2020 deserves compliments for its balanced assessment and objectivity.
The concern over implementation, which many people have views on, is to some extent a challenge, but not impossible for a country of our capability. A big breakthrough in education is a must. We […]
Your cover story ‘Coping with the online learning revolution’ (PW July) highlighted the stress that families are experiencing in the transition to online learning. In our case, both my children hate online learning; miss interacting with their friends and teachers, and playing sports and games.
School managements are also adding to the stress by constantly changing […]
Your cover story ‘Neta-babu brotherhood destroying private education’ (EW July) is overdue and timely. Although government animosity towards private schools — which provide education to half of India’s school-going children — is several decades old, it has become more blatant in the Covid-19 era.
Several state governments are making the most of this unprecedented crisis to […]
The feature on developing computational thinking within children was interesting, relevant and informative (PW June). The ability to think logically and problem-solve is a 21st century skill which all children must develop to succeed in this new tech-intensive AI age. The story shared some very useful insights and strategies to develop computational […]
I’m sure your brilliant cover story ‘50 leaders who can revive Indian education’ (EW June) has brought considerable cheer to many parents like me who are disillusioned with the quality of the education system. Now with the Covid-19 pandemic forcing closure of all education institutions, the future of our children and youth is uncertain.
I look forward to reading the ‘Fun with Words’ column by Roopa Banerjee every month. It’s an enjoyable way for children to learn about the nuances of the English language.
As a retired English teacher I am appalled by the poor English grammar and limited vocabulary of the new generation, for which I blame their addiction […]
I salute ParentsWorld for publishing a powerful cover story ‘Don’t judge. Enable single parents!’ (PW February). As a single parent in the early years of the new millennium, I experienced social prejudice and disdain, and had to move to three different cities with my daughter.
In small town India especially, single moms are harshly judged and […]
I am very happy to learn that Kavikulaguru Kalidas Sanskrit University (KKSU) is ranked #60 all-India and #6 in Maharashtra in the EducationWorld Government University Rankings 2020-21. KKSU is a Sanskrit university. This recognition has boosted the morale of our faculty and students and we look forward to your support in achieving excellence in higher […]
Congratulations for your pioneer initiative of ranking the country’s autonomous and non autonomous colleges separately (EW April). As you rightly argue, autonomous colleges are a class apart and need to be ranked separately.
Nevertheless, I’m baffled that some of India’s routinely top-ranked colleges sited in the national capital — St. Stephen’s, Miranda, Sri […]
The cover story ‘Union Budget 2020-21: Small change for human capital development’ (EW March) highlights the step-motherly treatment of Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to education. While defence, corporate and middle-class subsidies enjoy undeserved priority, human resource development is an unwanted orphan.
The Draft National Education Policy (NEP) 2019 provides a visionary blueprint that sets out the template for liberal education and holistic development of […]
I salute ParentsWorld for publishing a powerful cover story ‘Don’t judge. Enable single parents!’ (PW February). As a single parent in the early years of the new millennium, I experienced social prejudice and disdain, and had to move to three different cities with my daughter.
In small town India especially, single moms are harshly judged and […]
Thank you for publishing the inaugural EW India Budget Private School Rankings 2020 (EW February). I believe rankings are one of the most effective ways to encourage healthy competition in any sector as well as help consumers to make informed decisions. Where there is competition, there is excellence.
In the education sector, EducationWorld is doing a […]
Your cover story on ‘A-Z New Year resolutions for good parenting’ (PW January) was informative and refreshing. The suggested list of resolutions were simple to follow and relevant to improving the quality of family life.
Though like most people I have seldom followed my New Year resolutions through, I am determined to try out some of […]
Your cover story ‘Smooth launch of India’s pioneer interwoven arts and sciences university’ (EW January) gave an impressive account of south India’s first liberal arts Krea University. It’s a venture of great potential. In particular its unique interwoven curriculum which combines arts and sciences education is an exciting innovation in Indian higher education. Let’s see […]
The cover story ‘Safeguarding children against air pollution’ was timely and relevant (PW December). I have some friends who have moved out of Delhi, despite it being their hometown for generations, because of severe air pollution and associated health risks.
One of their children had developed asthma while the other was constantly getting colds and chest […]
Thank you for the latest issue of EducationWorld, a periodical which positively, critically and candidly discusses the multiple dimensions of the education sector in our country.
After reading through some of your recent publications I must confess I’m getting addicted to it.

I was an active debater through my school and college years and I’m also trying to get my children interested in debating. The cover story ‘Empowering children with debate skills’ (PW November) was very relevant and interesting. Encouraging children to debate from young age helps them develop into articulate communicators and decision-makers.
I have been a regular reader of EducationWorld for over a decade. With every issue, you set higher standards of education journalism. In the November anniversary issue, you have outdone yourself by featuring an insightful and informative cover story ‘2030: Will India recover its lost education momentum?’ This story is a balanced assessment of the […]
My eight-year-old daughter experiences difficulty with some hand and leg movements. But she is very smart and intelligent. Therefore I was delighted to read your cover story about the growing popularity and relevance of mind sports (PW October). Learning and excelling in mind games such as Scrabble and/or memory sport is a great morale and […]
I was delighted to read your cover story ‘Mahatma Gandhi’s prescription can revive Indian education’ (EW, October). It is superbly written, insightful and exhilarating to read about the Mahatma’s organic and still relevant education philosophy.
Apart from being a highly accomplished political leader and social reformer, Gandhiji was a highly influential […]
The September cover story about the dangerous consequences of overindulging children was very relevant.
Most working parents believe that they need to make up for not spending quality time with their children by pampering them and acceding to their every demand. Though in the short-term this may bring pleasure to both parents and children, in the […]
